Cover Art
I finally have a piece of cover art that I actually love. It was inspired by the covers of Sarah Dessen novels more specifically What Happened to Goodbye. I didn't have any cover bling to add like #1 bestseller. I am considering re-doing all of the covers to mimic this style. Except maybe Veritas.
Lile Shout-Out
I have to say a lot of what I write has been inspired by Lile. A large part of Veritas was inspired by the cut Spirits--the whole gangs thing. In some ways OHG will be my tribute to S&A.Oh, the trenches
I have never deviated from written plots much. Once I write something I hardly ever scrap it but, I had to do that several times with OHG. I had an idea for a plot but, decided to make it a sub-plot and then finally decided there was no story there and scraped it completely.The story is getting carved out and I am doing a mix between outline and spontaneous writing.
Okay, I don't have much to blog about. Let's face it, I just want to get to showing you some of OHG.

Great Music Choice, this was super cute/
ReplyDeleteI don't know who would find this confusing, I loved every minute.
ReplyDeleteI think there may have been a mistake with the second "change of date" it says 2003
ReplyDeleteSo, what about Sawyer I mean he doesn't get anything for telling Julie to break into the car ?
ReplyDeleteAnarchism ! Gmail did not start till 2004. LOL ! JK

ReplyDeleteI'm so stealing Juliana's e-mail. I wonder if it has been taken. I thought this was so sweet. It would have been awesome if you could continue like this.
ReplyDeleteI truly got that Dessen Vibe of hopefulness from the image, I just couldn't place it.
ReplyDeleteI still feel Julie's dad was kinda douche the way he got a new family. IDK
ReplyDeleteIt looks like Elisa didn't come to the wedding. . hmm.
ReplyDeleteNooo, is that it for this post ? I'm excited about this.
ReplyDeleteI'm guessing they eloped ? maybe ? Or maybe I don't know what a marriage celebration reception is.
ReplyDeleteDoes the subplot by chance involve Sawyer and Elisa.

ReplyDeleteI love Rhett/Juliana srsly, but I can't help but to miss Sawyer/Juliana . . . I'm just saying.
ReplyDeleteThis was so touching, I can't wait to see what happens next. It flows so perfectly
ReplyDeleteHmm, is this another Ipod commercial song ? Keep them coming !
ReplyDeleteI feel so bad for Juliana they way she is so disconnected from her family. How could they not tell Hayley the truth ?
ReplyDelete^ Yeah, I mean Mr. Reese isn't her real dad is he ?
ReplyDeleteI don't know if there is a term for it but I find things like OHG and SA similar to stories about couples like Blue Valentine and The Reader ! Stories like these aren't told a lot in mainstream media.
ReplyDeleteWow, that is a lot of letters. I could never !
ReplyDeleteThe non-verbalness of this is surreal, totally awesome.
ReplyDeleteSo, many pretty colors. Will you be using pictures more often.
ReplyDeleteLet me guess Shawna you have been watching friends ? - M
ReplyDeleteI almost cried for some reason. It made my heart feel all light and wonderful. I find Julie relate able maybe because we are the same age ? - B
I love how the fonts changed and they way it all worked together. I'm trying to figure out where this blends into the prologue of UL2.
ReplyDeleteIt would be funny if you made Veritas into a Dessen-esque cover.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you figured out the joke. . . hints ?
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you figured out the joke. . . hints ?
ReplyDelete. . . so When you said you were working on a new serial was this it or is there something else ?
ReplyDeleteIf you need some cover bling feel free to add some comments.
ReplyDeleteFall Out Boy. . . oh dear

ReplyDeleteLinda-- I wanted it to be cute after all the "edgy" stuff.
Maylights- Thanks ! Sorry to discount my readers but, I jump around a lot.
